Facebook Advertising

Facebook’s popularity as a communications channel used by people worldwide has led to it becoming a powerful tool for businesses. It offers marketing and advertising functions to reach potential customers, while engaging with existing clientele and industry influencers. Businesses can reach large, neatly-targeted audiences based on detailed user data that’s unmatched by any other website.

Advertising on Facebook encompasses creating an ad that elicits viewers to take action simply by clicking. Facebook mainly lets businesses choose between a text or display ad, the former letting you include an image. Ads can be set for clicks to go to the company website or to “like” the company’s Facebook page. Other, more nuanced options are available, and it’s important to choose the best path based on business goals. The business is charged by Facebook only for each click.

This requires monitoring and understanding of what constitutes a successful Facebook advertising campaign. Other important considerations to leverage Facebook as a powerful investment:
